Am I a Psycho?

I was listening to a true crime podcast last week, where the hosts stated on more than one occasion that anyone who grinds when playing digital RPGs (using 'World of Warcraft' as an example), was 'totally a psycho' and 'clearly psychotic'. For context, I was very aware that this was a true crime podcast,  and that the episode I was listening to was a about Anders Breivik, a mass murderer who, admittedly, spent a number of years playing 'World of Warcraft'. 

I forgot about the podcasters' comments until they part two of their Breivik story, when they suggested that Breivik would 'be a grinder, because players who grind are the ones most likely to go out killing'.

Shields goes on to say that grinding gives us that fantastic feeling of reward for the often huge effort we put in. I agree. We reach or exceed a level high enough to beat or pulverise our enemies, we finally get an item that we spent hours (or days) repeatedly trying to obtain, and we are able to move on to the next area where the grind begins anew, giving us a that feeling of reward and completion along with renewed resolve to start again, and the knowledge that we'll get that 'buzz' of feeling of reward again. 

I no longer think I'm a psycho, which is refreshing. I'll finish this post with another totally non-academic link, this time to the Ultimate Pop Culture Wiki, and their article on grinding, which is not only written with complete neutrality and with no mention of the word 'psycho' at all, but also offers the synonyms treadmilling, pushing the bar, farming, and by far my favourite - catassing.
